Help with a custom javascript button

I'm trying to write a custom button to Execute JavaScript in a lead record that will:

- Send an email

- Check a box

- Add today's date to a field

- Display the lead record

 

So far I have the send the email working with:

location.replace('/_ui/core/email/author/EmailAuthor?p2_lkid={!Lead.Id}&rtype=00Q&retURL=%2F{!Lead.Id}&template_id=00Xi0000000h3Qh&p5=&save=1');

 

I tried configuring a second button to check a box with:

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/22.0/connection.js")} 

var newRecords = [];
var c = new sforce.SObject("Lead");
c.id ="{!Lead.Id}";
c.00Ni00000046tXe_chkbox = true;
newRecords.push(c);
result = sforce.connection.update(newRecords);
window.location.reload();

 

It gives me an "Unexpected token ILLEGAL" error. 

 

 

Can someone please help:

- Fix the checkbox issue

- Provide the JavaScript to change the date field to the current day

- Combine all 3 actions into 1 button

 

Thanks in advance,

John

I tried using the same code and I was able to check the checkbox, Can you use alert function to see are you getting the value. Is the field name correct?

c.00Ni00000046tXe_chkbox = true; ?

Thanks for the reply.

 

I did have the wrong field name.  i think I have the correct one now?

 

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/22.0/connection.js")}
var newRecords = [];
var c = new sforce.SObject("Lead");
c.id ="{!Lead.Id}";
c.00Ni00000046tXj = true;
newRecords.push(c);
result = sforce.connection.update(newRecords);
window.location.reload();

 

I'm still getting the "Unexpected token ILLEGAL error.

 

I don't know how to use the alert function the way you're suggesting.  Can you give me some guidance?

 

Thanks again,

John

c.00Ni00000046tXj = true;

 

00Ni00000046tXj is the 15 digit field character. Please follow the following steps.

 

setup>customize>lead> fields   [ I am taking example of standard lead object, you need to choose your standard or custom object. custom object are under create].

 

Search for the field that you want to use and copy the API name mentioned against it. If it is a custom field then api name would be xyz__c.

 

alert functions are easy to use.

eg: 

c.id ="{!Lead.Id}";

 

alert(c.id);

 

Thanks
